Grants?! Isn't that massively anti-competitive/entrenching a monopoly?
I would've expected it to be at least disguised as a tax break or something. ('No tax on US-manufactured chips' or whatever.)

From? Apple doesn't count due to the extremely narrow usability of their software and the complexity of using other software on their hardware.
If chips were sold purely on hardware specs and not software lockin then Intel would have much fewer sales. The US giving grants, tax credits, and cheap loans to Intel only serves to extend the lifespan of a company whose compeitive edge is failing.
